Sorex oreopolus Merriam, 1892 . Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 7: 173.

TYPE LOCALITY: Mexico, Jalisco, N. slope Sierra Nevada de Colima, ca. 10000 ft. (3048 m) .

COMMENT: Contrary to Findley, 1955, Univ. Kans. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7: 613-618, this species does not include emarginatus or ventralis , which are in the subgenus Sorex ( Diersing and Hoffmeister, 1977, J. Mammal., 58:331). Subgenera characterized by Diersing, 1980, J. Mammal., 61:76. S. vagrans orizabae may prove to be a junior synonym of oreopolus; see Junge and Hoffmann, 1981:43.
